Queenstown Village on the Essequibo Coast celebrated its 178th anniversary on Monday and President David Granger stressed again on the importance of education when he emphasised that the school is a pillar of the community.
“Education is essential to development. It is the one true path to development at the national, regional, neighbourhood and village levels,” the Head of State said, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Presidency.
The increasingly embattled President who is facing growing calls to pave the way for swift general elections said, “Education was one of the pillars upon which Queenstown was established. The others are the family, the farm, or workplace and the church. If one of these pillars fails, the village would fall.”
